SEPARATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 391,850, dated October30, 1888.

Application filed February 3, 1888.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it k nown that I, GEORGEJONES, residing at Chicago, in the county ofCook and State of Illinois, and a citizen of the United States,

have invented a new and useful Improvement in Separators, of which thefollowing is a speciiieation, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section.

1o Fig. 2 is a section at line fr of Fig. l.

The leading object of my invention is to provide an improved device bymeans of which water will be separated from steam before the latterreaches the engine, which I accomplish I5 as illustrated in thedrawi:1g=, and hereinafter described.

That which I claim as new will be set forth in the claims.

In the drawings, A represents a cylinder 2o provided, as shown, with aiiange, a, at each end.

B C are two heads, each of which, as shown, is provided with a ange, b,on its inside.

D is a perforated cylinder, which may be made of perforated sheet metal.This eylin der is held in place and supported by the iianges b, and thecylinder A and the heads B C are secured together by bolts c.

E is a solid partition in the perforated cylinder D.

F is a shield or guard over one half of the perforated cylinder.

G represents a steam pipe leading from the boiler to my device, and Hasteam-pipe lead ing from my device to the engine.

I is a returnepipe.

In use my device is to be located at any suitable point between theboiler and the engine, and may be supported in any suitable manner.Steam from the boiler will pass through the pipe G into the perforatedcylinder D, but cannot pass in such perforated cylinder be yond thepartition E, and from the right-hand half of the perforated cylindersteam will pass Serial No. 262,888. (No model.)

through the perforations into the cylinder A, and the water will bethere mostly separated from the steam and will fall to the bottom of thecylinder A, from which it can be returned either to the boiler or feedwater heater through the pipe I. The steam separated from 5o the waterwill pass through the perforations in the left-hand end of theperforated cylinder, passing into such end of this cylinder and thenceto the engine through the pipe II. If any of the water condenses in theupper portion of the cylinder A, it cannot fall into the left-hand endof the perforated cylinder, but will fall upon the shield F and beconducted away from the perforated cylinder.

I have shown my device in a horizontal po- 6o l sition; but it may beused in a vertical position, if desired, without any material change,but the shield F wouldnot be required.

My device is also well adapted to be used between a boiler and asteam-radiator for the purpose of separating the water from the steambefore it passes to the radiator.

I am aware that devices are in use for.separating water from steam onits passage from the boiler to an engine, and therefore do not 7o claim,broadly, means for accomplishing this result; but

Nhat I do claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination of a cylinder, A, heads B C, perforated cylinder D,provided with a partition, E, inlet steam-pipe G, outlet steampipe H,and return-pipe I, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

2. The combination of a cylinder, A, heads So B C, perforated cylinderD, provided with a partition, E, shield F, inlet steam-pipe G, outletsteam-pipe H, and returnvpipe I, substantiall y as and for the purposesspecified.
